So off we went for a marathon run up to the Greater Puget Sound Region. We drove to Tacoma, and parked at the bus station and took a bus to the stadium. We watched a fantastic game! It ended with a home run by the Mariners to win the game in the 9th inning. If you happened to see the highlights of the game, you actually would have seen us, because the ball landed in the bullpen right in front of where we were seated. It couldn't have gotten more exciting. The whole stadium just erupted. I love going to see games there. I've yet to find a bad seat.
Here are Andrea and I at the ball park:
I was on the edge of my seat in the 9th inning, so I wasn't paying attention to my camera. Fortunately, Andrea had the wherewithal to grab the camera and snap a couple of pictures. This one is right before Richie Sexson hit the game-winning home run.
And this one is of the celebration afterward.
So after the game, we went back to Tacoma. I took Andrea on a brief tour of my home town. We drove down Ruston Way, and then drove up to Point Defiance Park, and drove around Five Mile Drive. There are some great view points along this road. Here is Andrea and I in front of the Tacoma Narrows.
Here's a picture with the old Narrows Bridge in the distance with the new one being built right next to it.

You said the new bridge IS being built...last I was up there, the locals said they were having trouble getting the new pieces to the right places! Must be an improvement since then, eh?
Good pics! Where is the new hat?
